Title: Connectivity Fault Management
– P802.1ag
Sponsored by: Tony Jeffree, IEEE 802.1, WG Chair
Presenters:
Norm Finn, Cisco
Dinesh Mohan, Nortel
This tutorial will give an overview of the Connectivity Fault Management project that has been initiated in 802.1, along with the background in terms of the collaborative activity with ITU-T that was the trigger for 802.1 to start work on this project.
Tutorial #2

Presenters:
Howard Frazier, IEEE 802, 2 nd Vice Chair
Andy Ickowicz, IEEE-SA, Program Manager, Technical Program Development

This is the first installment of the Education, Mentoring and Support program for chairs and editors of IEEE 802
LMSC projects. In this session, we will provide a tutorial on the PAR approval process, the balloting and recirculation process, and the draft approval process. We will also answer questions that have been posted by various chairs and editors.
Tutorial #3
Date: Tuesday, July 13, 2004
Time: 6:30 - 8:00 pm
Location: Grand Ballroom II (Hilton)
Title: Coexistence in Unlicensed Bands: Challenges and Solutions
Sponsored by: Steve Shellhammer, IEEE 802.19, WG Chair
Presenters:
Nada Golmie, NIST
The main theme of this tutorial is to explore the effects of mutual interference of wireless devices on performance and investigate solutions to mitigate this effect. We use representative technology for WPAN and WLAN, namely
IEEE 802.15.1 (Bluetooth), IEEE 802.15.4, and IEEE 802.11b respectively. This presentation can be naturally divided into two parts.
In part one, we outline a methodology for quantifying the impact of mutual interference on wireless devices. Some of the techniques we survey include analysis, experimentation, and simulation. While analytical models can often give a first order approximation to the impact of interference that can change the traffic distribution for each system is often ignored. On the other hand, experimental and to a lesser extent simulation results can be considered more accurate at the cost of being too specific to the implementation tested. Results using each of these techniques will be discussed and compared.
Part two of the tutorial is devoted to exploring solutions to the coexistence problem. The focus will be on MAC solutions that can augment or enhance traditional filtering, anti-jamming, and physical layer techniques. We will present some of the most promising techniques including adaptive frequency hopping and scheduling for
Bluetooth, rate scaling for WLAN. Realistic scenarios will be considered for each scheme and performance trends and trade-offs will be discussed.

EMS Advanced Framemaker Training
Date: Tuesday, July 13, 2004
Time: 7:00 – 8:30 pm
Location: Forum Suite (Hilton)
Title: Advanced Framemaker Training
Sponsored by: Howard Frazier, IEEE 802, 2 nd Vice Chair
Presenters:
Jennifer Longman, IEEE-SA, Managing Editor, Standards Information and Industry Publishing
This is installment 2A of the Education, Mentoring and Support program for chairs and editors of the IEEE 802
LMSC projects. In this session, we will provide a tutorial on the IEEE Standards Style Manual, the IEEE
Standards Framemaker template, and the draft creation and editing process. The tutorial will emphasize the use of Framemaker desktop publisher software. Attendees are strongly encouraged to bring their laptop computers with Framemaker v7.0 installed. This tutorial will concentrate on advanced editing issues and techniques.

Time: 7:00 – 10:00 pm
Location: Colonel Lindbergh (Embassy Suites)
Title: Residential Ethernet
Sponsored by: Bob Grow, IEEE 802.3 WG Chair
Presenters:
Richard Brand, Nortel Networks
Residential Ethernet provides time-sensitive delivery between non-disruptive plug-and-play synchronized end points over reliable point-to-point full-duplex cable media.
Time-sensitive audio-video applications for in home use will need some type of bandwidth allocation with predictable latency and low-jitter delivery to guarantee a constant level of quality of experience (QoE). Ensuring real-time services through routers, data security, wireless media, and developing new PMDs are beyond the scope of this project.
